C. Viper to Join Street Fighter 6 on Oct 15 With New Moves

Capcom confirmed that long-running Street Fighter character C. Viper will join Street Fighter 6 on October 15, unveiling new gameplay footage and details during its Tokyo Game Show presentation. The studio said the fighter will be available immediately to Year 3 Character Pass and Year 3 Ultimate Pass holders, and can also be purchased individually using the game’s premium currency, Fighter Coins.

The two minute trailer and accompanying developer notes spotlighted a moveset that blends signature attacks from C. Viper’s previous appearance in Street Fighter IV with several new mechanics. Capcom highlighted Burning Kick and Seismic Hammer among her returning tools, along with Thunder Dash and Knuckled Pursuit. The company also introduced a new ability called Focus Force, described as a protective barrier that enables a counterattack. Gameplay footage emphasized her gadget-based toolkit, which can inflict burn or shock on opponents, and showed her high jumps assisted by heels. Capcom also displayed her classic Street Fighter IV costume, which players can unlock by reaching a maximum bond with her in World Tour mode or by purchasing it with Fighter Coins.
